Andrey Pulyaev blames Azamat Murzakanov's loss on cardio, questions Costa recovery

Andrey Pulyaev believes that Azamat Murzakanov's recent defeat was primarily due to poor cardio preparation. Pulyaev expressed disappointment that Murzakanov lost on his birthday and acknowledged his own limitations as a cardio athlete. He also raised questions about how Paulo Costa appeared fatigued in the second round but came out looking fresh for the third round. Pulyaev's comments suggest he found Costa's between-round recovery unusually strong. The analysis focuses on conditioning as a decisive factor in the fight's outcome.
